Curve Dental's system allows 24/7 access to your data and you only need to keep a simple workstation setup, thus no need for extensive and complex networks. They use the same level of security that internet banking does. They will manage all of the software upgrades for you during non-business hours so no need to upgrade and see if all the software works with your hardware. Their goal is to keep your experience with dental software simple, streamlined, and efficient. Whether you are an early adopter of technology, or more reserved, you will find they have the solutions that meet your needs. -Scott Parker, DDS
Having a post that flexes like the natural root is a big advantage. Metal posts often cause a root to fracture leaving extraction as the only option. Should a fiber post that has been bonded to the internal surface of the root become loose, the root is left intact and the clinician only replaces the post. Now 3M ESPE has a smaller post with a diameter of 1.1 mm which means you can work with smaller diameter roots and also leave more good root behind.
Brush Buddies is a childrens' toothbrush that plays music while young patients brush. At the 1 minute mark, the brush tells the child that it is time to brush the bottom teeth and at the end of 2 minutes, it tells patient that they did a great job. I brought one home for my 4-year-old son and now it’s THE brush that he asks for. The bristles are replaceable and this brush has made me do a better job brushing my son’s teeth.
